25  Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people,

and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them,

and the mountains quaked;

and their corpses were as refuse

in the midst of the streets.

^rFor all this his anger has not turned away,

and his hand is stretched out still.

12  The Syrians on the east and the Philistines on the west

devour Israel with open mouth.

^jFor all this his anger has not turned away,

and his hand is stretched out still.

17  Therefore the Lord does not rejoice over their young men,

and has no compassion on their fatherless and widows;

for everyone is godless and an evildoer,

and every mouth speaks folly.¹

For all this his anger has not turned away,

and his hand is stretched out still.

21  Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim devours Manasseh;

together they are ^magainst Judah.

For all this his anger has not turned away,

and his hand is stretched out still.

1  You¹ will say in that day:

“I will give thanks to you, O Lord,

for though you were angry with me,

^uyour anger turned away,

that you might ^vcomfort me.
